I installed TI 2010 on my Windows 7 PC. It said I needed an update. On the UPDATE page I was offered many tabs one of which was the application and the next one was bootable rescue media. When I first installed the software I noticed there was a utility installed for creating bootable media. However on the update option there was a separate tab for bootable media. When I down loaded the bootable media it was an ISO file. So, now I can create bootable media with my latest application or I can create a bootable CD from the ISO file.

For many people data is their livelihood. Being able to boot back up for recovery is CRITICAL. This is something that most people do not have the luxury to test so what is the real story? Did the process to create bootable media get updated when I updated the application? If so why do I need the .ISO file? If I need the .ISO file then why do you need the utility to create bootable media?

The ISO file version uses a different loader and is usually more updated (more current drivers) than the CD you can create using TI. However, you can use whichever one works.

In addition, if you need to use the SafeMedia (Safe Mode) version of TI, you need to create the CD using TI as the SafeMedia version is not included in the downloaded ISO version.
